This research aims to characterise Jurassic syn-rift petroleum systems in the Shushan Basin using geophysical and geochemical data.
Analyzed seismic-reflection data linked to borehole and geochemical data
Investigated three main Jurassic syn-rift seismic and depositional megasequences
Defined Lower, Middle, and Upper Jurassic megasequences based on depositional environments
Identified potential hydrocarbon source-rock in Jurassic strata with kerogen Types II and III
Found Middle Jurassic shale-rich intervals as prime tight-gas targets
Upper Jurassic carbonate units present promising conventional reservoirs
